Career


The career I chose was a Secretary. Secretaries sit behind a desk all day long and take phone calls and do some paperwork. Some Secretaries must put in sales of the company or business.

Secretaries must be familiar with the things around them such as the way there system of putting sails in. Secretaries get paid around $12.00 an hour. If you are to become a secretary you may have to write fast, or be a very skilled when using a key board and a computer. In fact some companies may require you to have around 50 words per minute.

A major skill you use when being a secretary is math because you may have to give change fast on a busy day. You also need math because if you are in charge of calculating the sails for the week you may want to do some fast adding in your head. Another must have skill is language arts because you must be able to spell very well when hand writing things so you don’t get a costumer confused or mislead someone when selling them something. A helpful skill you might want to have is organization for if you are in charge of organizing the files in the file cabinet or finding the records of a custumer it may come in handy to know where everything is.

I chose this job because I have all the skills I posted above. Math is my highest grade and I even got it to go up to a 101 on my report card. A language art is my second best subject for I am a good speller and can type around 60 words per minute. I am fairly organized because I hate losing things especially when it comes to important school work.
